Raine and Horne Helensburgh principal Julie York says the area needs more villas and apartments to meet high demand.
"We have many clients wishing to downsize from their large family home, but cannot do so because of the lack of suitable smaller houses/villas and apartments," Julie said.
"There is high demand for 2 and 3-bedroom villas with garaging/apartments without stairs and a courtyard or small yard.
"We really need to recognise that our seniors don’t want to move out of the area and therefore suitable housing is urgently required. If only someone would build a complex to cater for these residents, most of whom have lived here for most of their lives.

"Maybe council can look at changing the zoning on suitable land to allow this type of development to come to fruition, sooner rather than later."
